✦ Synopsis

Peroperative measurements of ureteral pressure, bladder pressure, and ureteral electrornyographic activity were performed during bladder filling in five vesicoureteral reflux patients. A total of seven units were investigated. The investigation supports previous observations that nondilated low-grade reflux ureters have stable low pressure but react to bladder filling by an increase in the peristaltic activity frequency. Dilated high-grade reflux ureters also react by an increase in peristaltic rate, but at the same time, the bladder pressure is transmitted to the ureter.
